The 5K, kilometre by kilometre

Where the climbs are, where the water is, and where to save something for the river.

Km 0–1: the Baixa

Flat and fast through the grid. Don’t race it; everyone does.

Km 1–2: the climb

Rossio, then up to Carmo past the lift. Short steps.

Km 2–3: Chiado and down

The noise carries you through Chiado, then the long drop to the river.

Km 3–5: the river

Flat along the water, one short climb by the cathedral, and home under the arch. This is where you run.

Olá! Ask me which race suits you, where the water stations are, or what to bring on race night.
